Hi folks,

Has anybody here ever built OpenOffice from sources, or know of
someone who has recently, who can say that doing so is possible?

I ask because I am curious as to whether I should be trusting
the binaries coming from Sun.

After all, it seems that so many big US corporations are
eager to cave in to the demands of the NSA or RIAA/MPAA.
I have to wonder whether OO maybe has spyware in
the binary download that is not in the source code download.
AT&T, Comcast, etc... why would Sun be any less unethical?

Thanks.
